Countdown to Gamescom 2014 - Call of Duty

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Multiplayer Reveal

- Power Changes Everything -

Another year, another Call of Duty. Shooter-fatigue is a real thing. How many military shooters can we play year in year out? Well fortunately for the developers, it seems not, as every year it sells by the bucket loads. Every year they make little adjustments here and there and just about managed to keep it fresh. 

This year however, is a brand new take on the franchise, by SledgeHammer Games. This is SG's first time at the helm, as the new addition to the regular CoD-factories, Infinity Ward and Treyarch. They did so by combining some of the elements from both studios with a little secret sauce of their own.

Key to this new game is the Exo Suit, adding a new dimension to the already fast-paced signature action of Call of Duty. The Exo Suit adds new capability for attack, defense and traversal, making the multiplayer game more frantic and action-packed. These mechanical suits adds a new level of verticality to Call of Duty, seen from games like Halo and the upcoming Destiny.

The Pick-10 system from Treyarch's Black Ops 2, is back in CoD:AW as Pick-13, giving you further customization on your character classes. Another new feature to look for to in CoD:AW will be its Custom Scorestreaks, allowing you to custom-fit your scorestreak with additional munitions.

CoD: AW will be released world-wide on Nov 4, 2014, and those that pre-ordered will get the Day Zero Edition on Nov 3, bundled with 2 custom gun and 2XP enabled 24 hours before the rest of the world get their grubby hands on this season's biggest shooter.
